MSX in a soap.

I've been thrown over a picture, which made me do a lot of gratuitous investigation.
Since 1985 there exist a german soap called "Lindenstraße" and in mid 1986 there was a VG8020 among the actors.
Notice the Apple poster!
Years later they used a Apple Cube...

I like the "no monitor" setup, great way to gain some place on your desktop

I vaguely remember this soap BTW. We were receiving German channels in north-est France, my favorite German show at the time was called "Pusstenblum" (not sure about the spelling), which was a science & nature show for kids.

Oh yes, Peter Lustig was the hero of my childhood. "It´s finished! Switch off the TV. Now!" he used to say every ending.
They used a lot of Philips devices, a early product placement. So the computer has to be a Philips, too.
1986, after one year of weekly watching Lindenstraße, I lost interrest. Or found a girlfriend. Or both.
Now my girlfriend is getting old and I found interesst in MSX again.

Wonderful episode! This really put me in a nostalgic mood, even if it looks they already had spam at the time, and computers knowing what you want to buy !! Also the barcode-scanners in the supermarkets have not changed that much.
